Canned Basic Salsa

55

A great recipe to build on, if you choose. I only added two Jalapeno chiles from our garden---for the rest I used chopped green chiles, as I'll be giving this as gifts, and many of my gifted people don't handle hot. The braver ones can just add more Jalapeno chiles. I did add more cilantro, as we love it! Also added salt, 1/2 cup lime juice, 2 tsp. sugar and Cajun seasoning. The yellow tomatoes did really well for us this season, so these are what I used. The salsa has a very interesting color, similar to a sofrito. I did have to cook it quite a bit longer than the 45 minutes, as the tomatoes were extremely juicy, and I didn't want watery salsa. All in all, I am very pleased with the results, and highly recommend this recipe!

Outstanding, Bergy. I did sub the green peppers with green zucchini (out of green peppers and the zucchini needed to be used) Also, reduced the jalapeno to 3 and added only one pod's seeds. I cooked and then blended a bit with an immersible blender. Delicious! Made for Preserving Summer Memories in Cooking Photos.

I made this recipe without the green peppers,instead I substituted an extra cup of tomatoes and a extra cup of onions to makeup the volume difference. It tasted so good, I made another batch two weeks later. Each time this adjusted recipe yielded 7&1/2 pints.
